| Combined with the characteristics of the museum of ethnology, the thesis mainly studies the collections information in the museums from every angle, discusses the problem about the collections information research, attempts to build and standardize theindex system on the collections information for our country’s museums of ethnology. So as to standardize the interpretation, classification, management, dissemination, use and development about the collections information, and enhances the collections management level of the museums of ethnology.The thesis starts from the museum collections classification and collections information index system, makes a comparative analysis on the collections information indexes between the museum of ethnology and others. It discusses the indexes which can reflect the collections’properties such as ethnology, economy, social, geography, function and so on, in order to build a more standardized and adapt to different ethnologymuseums’ collections information index system.Chapter 1 of the thesis focuses on the "Museum Collection Information index description Standard" and collections information management in the ethnologymuseums. Firstly, reviews the history of building the collections information exchange platform, discusses Digital Museum’s rise and development, and analyzes the "Museum Collection Information index system Standard" as well as International Museum Collections Information Guides. What’s more, elaborates the necessity of informational management on the collections of ethnologymuseums, the direction and purpose of collections management informational, and the function to protecting ethnology cultural heritage, building a harmonious society, and maintaining the ethnicareas’ stable. It also discusses the "short board" in the informational building of the ethnologymuseums, which means the missing of collections information technology standards. The third, basing on the "Museum Collection Information index description Standard", studies the existing index system’s rationality, reference, limitations and problems, especially the contradictions between collections management standardization and individual needs, "Standard" classification index system and ethnologymuseums’ characteristics, technology promotion and subordinate system. Through the studies, we’ll get some enlightenment about collections management standardization of ethnologymuseum.Chapter 2 concentrates on the decomposition of collections information index set. According to the ethnology and relics research results, we divide the index set to ethnology subset, economy subset, social subset, geography subset, function subset, name subset, region subset, and discussed respectively.The chapter 3 presents the building of the ethnology subset. First of all, describes the ethnology classification’s primary role in the collections classification and retrieval function, analyzes the ethnology concept evolution, unifies the ethnology research objects and museum collections, understands ethnology museum’s cultural transmission functions and ideological functions from culture and politics. Secondly, discusses GB 3304-1991 Chinese minorities and unrecognized ethnic minorities naming standards, analyzes the distribution characteristics of ethnic minorities.The last, studies the issue of cross-border ethnic classification,points out setting cross-border ethnic collection index’s necessity under the ethnology subset, and proposals standard ethnology subset, index description and field solution.Building the economy subset is the concept of chapter 4. We study from the economy culture concept, discusses the theorybetween Western ethnic school and domestic Lin Yaohua mentioned. Furthermore, we summarize the economy culture theory’s function in the Chinese ethnic minorities social history investigation and ethnologymuseum collection work. Finally, we propose he index set, index description and field solution according to economy culture classification such as gathering and hunting economy cultural group, livestock economy cultural group, farming economy cultural group and so on, which can increase the collections’ information.It is the concept of chapter 5 that establishing the social subset. The first, we sort out major views about social evolution in ethnology and cultural anthropology field, especially Morgan’s classification for human social evolution stage in "Ancient Society", Marx and Engels identifying the four social types with producing relationship in "Family, Private Property and the origin of State". What’s more, starting from ethnic social development index, make theoretical judgment and ethnic recognition on ethnic minorities social development level and stage. Lastly, we build the ethnic minorities social development level index subset, index description and field solution.The concept of chapter 6 is building the ethnology museum collections’ name subset. Firstly, basing on the collections’ standard naming included in the " Writing Instruction of Collections File" of State Administration of Cultural Heritage distinguishes collections’ original name from name. Secondly, discusses the lack of naming on ethnic language or idioms in the existingethnology museum collections. Finally, suggests the ethnic language standard description and field solution according to the ethnic language’s custom.Chapter 7 mentions building the geography subset. First of all, discusses the basic requirements for geography subset in "Museum Collection Information index description Standard". Secondly, according to the geographical features of ethnic minority living in groups, divides the ethnic minorities which distribute widely and have obvious geographical features, such as Tibetan ethnic minority, Yi ethnic minority and Mongolian ethnic minority. The last, proposals the field solution of ethnic traditional geographic representation according to the geographical features.Chapter 8 mentions building the function subset. First of all, discusses the influence of Malinowski’s culture function school to Chinese ethnic social history investigation and ethnic relics collection wok, studies the culture function school theory and collection information retrieval classification in the museum of ethnology. Furthermore, reviewing the history of ethnic relics collection, analyzes the ethnic relics’function and interprets the role of functional classification method. Lastly, builds social function index,information retrieval index and descriptors,through cultural representation, reconstruction and museum information dissemination.Building the collections’ information index item and set in the ethnic museum is the concept of chapter 4. The first, sorts out the corresponding standard table of collection information index item and set,and describes as well as explains the index item and set, in the last, amends the other index item and set, discussing the classification of the ethnic museum——collection basic category, visual anthropology’s image data category and other issues.Thelastpartofthe thesis mainly summarizes the above research results, from ethnology, economy, social, naming, geography and function aspect, building a set of collection information index which adapt to the existing ethnic museum, in order to establishing the corresponding standard tables of index item and set. Through practice and rethink,we reveal the really meaning of building the collection information index system in the ethnic museum, especially the function in the information exchange, language unification and cultural heritage protection and inheritance. |
